Reno was where Jack wanted to go for his birthday so we did. I surprized him with tickets to see Athlion in the Eldorado Showroom. Athlion was a Cirque du Sole type show and was great. Jack had never seen anything like it. We also drove up to Virgina City and spent the day going through the mining museam, the town itself, and even a walking tour of the least productive mine there! Aside from that we ate good food and gambled just enough to bring back what we took for gambling money! All in all a good trip!

We drove into quite a snow storm on the way home! I guess we timed that trip just right. It has since all melted way but it remains cold most days and snow covers all the mountain peaks around us.

This last weekend we attended a funeral for a friend that lost her battle with heart disease. It was an amazing service. She had planned the music and many aspects of it herself. What struck me was how she could exude love from the casket that set before us! It was very positive and comforting. Jack had known her for 30 years and he said she'd always been that way. Amazing.

That same day Shiloh somehow managed to cut her shoulder! The ten stitches and drain are covered with a very chic looking tee-shirt tied at her mid-rif. Makes me think of aoreobic's teachers every time I look at her! She got used to the tee-shirt fairly quickly but the not being able to run, jump, or fetch anything for two weeks is a different matter. It's been two days and she thinks she is "well". I'm hoping she won't pull the stitches out!

We are going to spend Thanksgiving Day with friends here in Klamath Falls. The boys are going to family dinners in Coquille and Coos Bay.

Traveling to and from Klamath Falls in the winter is always so risky! It's the greatest drawback to living here. Once winter sets in we're pretty isolated.

Later this morning (8 am) I go for a two hour glucose test... again. I told them the results of the one I took a few years ago...that it takes three hours for the "drop" to hit me but they want to do the two hour test anyway. They are testing for diabeties...I have the opposite - hyper-glycemia. Oh well.

Good news is my liver enzymes have almost returned to normal! Jack's are back to normal! We are jazzed about that!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
